Best Answer

Vitamin B6 can help prevent peripheral neropathy caused by taxane based chemotherapy. Taxane based chemo, such as paclitaxel (Taxol) and docetaxel (Taxotere), can cause numbness and tingling in the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy) because it can cause degeneration to the nerve cells. One of the many functions of Vitamin B6 is neurotransmitter synthesis, thus combating the effects of chemo. The following researched based report discusses this topic in more detail.
